I did a post on Marriot's / Starhill gallery's ladies restroom entitledthe Old Fashioned yet Modern Loo... Found out that the gents is also of the traditional concept, but of a different material.

If the ladies room are using the windmill concept where one needs to steer the wheel to obtain water, the gents are using the kinda wooden stick thingy. M not too sure what this concept is called.. Juz have a look at some pix that hubs captured...

As usual, a staff is placed to assist the patrons... Of coz, a male staff... lol...

The water will come through the wooden tap and runs through the sink which are wooden based. If the windmill is using more to a mixture of wood and mostly steel, this one is more to the wooden material...

Similar to the ladies, this one uses towels 2 wipe hands and a bowl for tips is placed there...

Just compare the wall material... It differs from the ladies too... The ladies are more to a bricky n clay type... While this one is like tile or somekind of uneven bricks, perhaps... IDK...

Hubs was in Kota Bharu, Kelantan recently for histone excel wow referral program. It's one of his business thingy. He took a little trip to Machang to meet his downline. And there's this one restaurant in Machang which i felt so amusing...

It's Burger Mac De... And this has nothing to do with Mc Donald's...

The point they emphasize here is... it's 100% Bumiputera...

I can't actually get the whole idea on how the concept is all about. From this pic, macam ala2 kiosk pun ada. A kind of imitation of those fast foods cum combination of Burgers, Fried Chicken, Root Beer and such...

This fried chix is one of the specialties... and it tasted sebijik macam ayam goreng kfc... harga?? only RM1.90 seketol... nett... unbelievable kn... Gosh!! the thigh looked so tempting la...

Basically, they serves almost everything under one roof... They have burgers, fried, wedges, meggi goreng and more... all these for an affordable price... Imagine RM3.00 for the set meal... Normally, seketul ayam pun x lepas for RM3... Siap ada delivery order lagik.. Like too good to be true la plakk....

Gosh! If it's in KL or any big city... Guess boleh kena saman kot... But I dunno la about all these legal procedures... hahhhah....

Besides Mac De, there's another stall around the same roof which sells something that's almost as catchy as Mac De is.... Nasi Goreng Gunung Berapi... It looked just like a normal fried rice but it's tersangat la pedasssssssssssss.....

Well, this is Kelantan version of Mc Donald's...

"Sekali dia cakap arab da...alep tendang wau... sarkis :D"

---> if one is not familiar of what i quoted, go check out P.Ramlee's Pendekar Bujang Lapok, again...

All in all, we'd like to thank Edil and family for their warm hospitality while Sham was in Kay Bee... From fetching him, taking him 2 the places he had 2 go, meeting those people, accommodating him, the list goes on n on n on... Plus those luvely treats and way much more...

During my visit to JW Marriot / Starhill for the 3.6 tea time promo (my previous post is referred), I checked out the ladies and found something rather interesting.

It's the concept of the washroom. It brings the concept of an old fashioned system. The tap itself uses the 'wind mill' concept where one needs to turn the wind mill clockwise in order for the water to come out...

It is so authentic - the sink's base are made of wood... and the soap dispenser are made of steel... Gosh! what a concept.... Very the zaman dolu2...

Nevertheless, turning the windmill may not be as easy as ABC... It has it's own technique... If u over-turn it, the water will not stop running. So there's a way of stopping the flow by turning it the other way round, anti-clockwise... Therefore, they provide a staff to assist.

This is the locking system in the cubicle. It's an ancient wooden lock... Where one needs to insert the wood to lock the door and pull backward to unlock it...

As a 5 star hotel, they don't use tissue or hand dryer to dry hands. They provide towels instead... After usage, just put the used towel in the compartment next to it.

There is a bowl placed for tipping. Tips are not necessary but as a courtesy, it's better to give some tips regardless the amount. Ray kata, if u x tip, means u r kinda 'cheap skate' lol...

Meanwhile, this is the ceiling...I just lurveeee the brick concept of the walls...This is the outer part of the washrooms.. I guess it brings somekind of clay wall concept...

Well... all in all, this washroom kinda exposed and gave a chance the 'later generation' to the windmill concept of water system as most of us haven't seen it live, except for the one in pictures..

On the other hand, I heard the gents uses another ancient concept of water system which i am not sure what... of coz i didn't check it out... lol

Despite the cool old fashioned concept, the toilets are not provided with BIDET...

Went for a teabreak rendezvous atJW Marriot / Starhill's Feast Garden... At first, I was really skeptical as it was in the middle of the month... Nak makan hotel 5 star??? (please pronounce 5 star ikut cara Chef Roze of Hotel Mania... Gosh! sggt geds la dat fella... but best) I was told that the price was unbelievable... Biar betik si Ajen ni...

Apparently, they are having this promotion known as 'The 3.6 teabreak' whereby food and beverages are sold for only RM 3.60++/dish. The participating outlets are Shook!(tp bukan Getah), Luk Yu Teahouse, Pak Loh Chiu Chow Restaurant (adik beradik Pak Li) and Fisherman's Cove (not related to Fisherman's friend)...

We dined in at Fisherman's Cove... Basically it brings the fisherman and sea concept ambiance and food... I love the bamboo and net decoration... It's really authentic... On the other hand, this place was visited by Jalan-jalan Cari Makan...

with luvely Fara...

Lets have a look at what we had that day... The portion was not too big... But if one is not satisfied, they may always order one or two or moreeee... Furthermore, it's definitely affordable... So y not... Guess that's the whole point...

That's about the pics that I managed to capture (with Megat's help, of coz)... The rest are already consumed... Guess everyone were hungry then... I didn't had my lunch either...

The busy chef in action...

Initially, I planned to type the whole menu out and incorporate it here... Therefore, I took snapshot of the menu items... But guess I bukan se-rajin itewww.... So I just 'tepek' the pic of those menu items for reference... Do click for a larger image, ya...

All item for only RM 3.60++/ each (RM 4.14 nett)... Daily from 3-6pm... Promo ends on 30th June 2010...

Had this wonderful dining experience in conjunction with DFC's 1st meeting of the new team. Wow! Kelllasssssssss tempat meeting... We ol dulu at AnW jer... lol... But it's a good thing... Meeting cum makan-makan session...

The tense faces during meeting...

Satisfied faces after having some splendid, yet affordable meal :D

M not sure what's the relevance of this pic in this entry... But I love the lampu-lampu... Cantekkk... Megat kata macam my gelang-gelang... syyyyy :)

Another good one by Megat Eusofe... Besides the second last pic, the first pic and pic of the fish finger... The rest are with my humble T-300 with some of his help, of coz... And Fara got a new camera... Lalllalalla....

Whatever it is, I'd like to thank Rajan for introducing this place... next time i'll try Shook that brings Italian, Japanese & Chinese Cuisine... As per Rajan...

ps : do park at Starhill / JW Marriot's basement parking for a flat rate of RM5.00 on Sundays...

My Aunt was warded in KPJ Selangor Medical Centre, formerly known as Selangor Medical Centre... Went there to pay a visit... But was told to take my camera along as the ward is damn exclusive... So there i was, jadi jakun kejap... N i'm not ashamed to admit that...

I often come to SMC but hardly to the fifth floor... So as the door opens, we were like WOW! 'The Suites' katanya... The entrance itself pun dah so welcoming... Imagine the inside...

So we went in.. As I bumped with my cuz at the entrance, we didn't have to ask the nurse where her room is and all... Just followed my cuz to her Mum's room...

The suite is really spacious... Boleh maen kejar-kejar lagi... It has 2 sections... The outer part, which contains living room and dining... The patient is placed in a cosy room with TV and private bath...

This i my aunt, Datin Saodah accompanied by Kak Ros...She just underwent a laser treatment for her stone in the kidney...Hope she gets well soon :)

Well, as far as my posts are concerned, x sah if i x snappy snap the food... Coincidentally she didn't take her breakfast that they served... According to her, makanan hospital tetap makanan hospital... Walaupun bilik cantekkk...
